: The rumors are true. I was the charismatic front-woman for a rock band for 5 years. Think: Led Zeppelin — with a punky blonde chick howling on lead vocals.

: The rumors are (also) true that I’ve been known to put a singing bowl on my head from time to time.

: These days, I’m the front chick for a yoga- and chant-inspired cello band. (Is that even a real thing, you ask? Why yes it is — and you can check us out over here.)

: When I was a teenager, I saved my nickels + dimes and got a horse. I worked to pay for her, I worked to board her and I paid every vet bill, in cash. I trained her and loved her to pieces. I still miss her. Sometimes, I wish I had a pony.

: Once in a while, I hear voices. (Nice, helpful voices.) I get answers. I get guidance. I feel things that aren’t mine, and I channel those insights into my work as an artist, mentor and yoga therapist. I’ve got this energy-connection-mojo goin’ on, and it’s hard to explain. But it’s real, and … there you go.

: I’m a proud homebody, and my rock-n-roll days are long gone, but if you ever come into my town, we’re going for tea and biscuits (did someone say biscuits?) — and that’s final. First round is on me!

Spicy-chai and shortbread,

Trish
